No one on the street on the cold night,
Just me and the moonlight
I was returning home when I saw there was
Light in an old bar.
I didn't hesitate, it was cold and I went in
Being so far from my land
I had the feeling
Of having entered a Tavern
From Bragão or Monção
And an old man approached and spoke like this

Let's toast with a green wine
That is from my Portugal
And the green wine will make me remember
The white village I left behind the sea
Let's toast with green wine
So that I can sing
Songs from Minho that make me dream
Of the moment to return home
He then told me about that sad day
Old Luiz
When he left everything that exists
To be happy
The fiancée, the mother, the house, the father, and the dog too
Thinking now about that scene
That I saw abroad
I remember the sorrow, I remember the grief,
That I lived with him
Good Portuguese return soon and come for good
Let's toast with green wine
So that I can sing
Songs from the nest that make me dream
Of the moment to return home
